The Minister of Natural Resources & Environment was quoted in the New Straits Time published on the same date in its “Advertorial” at page 11 that this year’s theme is ‘Forest For Community Livelihood’ and that 2011 had been officially declared as the International Year of Forests with another appropriate theme, ‘Forest for People’.
